"Fix It & Finish It" Production Reel

Fix it and Finish It is a daily syndicated design show that renovates one space a day, 120 renovations a year, for lucky families across the US. As the only featured designer on the show, Nicki brings an authentic and unconventional design view and detail-oriented construction management combined with years as a television producer to her work on the series.

Nicki turns a 1950’s ranch house garage into a dining room where a young family can eat al fresco while enjoying their young toddler plays on the driveway. Features a unique vintage pulley system attached to a hatch covering the basement.

Nicki Huggins completely remodels a kitchen from top to bottom in one day for the Mercer family in Louisville, KY.

As a bonus, Nicki opened the adjacent dining room wall and gave that room a makeover, also.

Nicki dedicates this episode to her mom Mary who died of Alzheimer’s disease.
